The experimental and theoretical behavior of the (OC)CCH 3 J CH coupling constant is investigated for a series of α,β‐unsaturated compounds ( 1 to 8 ), and for some of them, the well‐known relationship ( 3 J CHcis  <  3 J CHtrans ) was observed. However, for some compounds, close values for 3 J CHcis and 3 J CHtrans couplings were observed, and for aldehydes group containing compounds ( 7 and 8 E ), an inversion order is observed ( 3 J CHcis  >  3 J CHtrans ). In all cases where the 3 J CHcis  <  3 J CHtrans relationship it is not followed, a polar group or electronegative atom oriented in opposite direction ( s‐trans ) to the HCC hydrogen is present, suggesting that conformational preference of such polar group or atoms are important factor on the behavior of 3 J CH couplings. Taking all of these in consideration, a new Karplus‐type equation was proposed for 3 J CH couplings in α,β‐unsaturated compounds, which can be used for configurational and conformational assignment on trisubstituted double bond derivatives.
